Matchup #4 of the first round features Autumn Williams of the Nickelodeon sitcom Just Jordan and D.J. Tanner of Full House. Chelsea Tavares (here’s her Instagram because I know somebody is going to want to know —–> here) played supermodel Autumn Williams for 2 season on Just Jordan. However, the show failed to have the longevity of many of the shows that have have characters in the Bae Brackets, as it only lasted 30 episodes. Though short lived on the air, we saw qualities demonstrated by Autumn that would potentially make her a candidate to do well in the Bae Brackets.

Unfortunately for Autumn, she was matched up against D.J. Tanner in the first round who is no stranger to longevity. Candace Cameron starred as D.J. Tanner in the family sitcom Full House for 8 seasons in a total of 192 episodes. D.J. was the compassionate oldest sister of the show. Not only kind and responsible, but also intelligent. D.J., in the final season of the show, was on her way to attending University of California, Berkley after completing high school. D.J. was known for entering the scene, accompanied by some soft wind instruments, whenever her young sister Stephanie needed a lift and was always there to provide one.

This was probably our closest debate yet:

Continuing on with the Bae Brackets, we bring to you the third matchup of the first round. Ashley Banks, played by Tatyana Ali, starred in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for 6 seasons. Ashley was often caught between remaining obedient to her parents and wanting to be a free spirit under her cousin Will Smith. Ashley’s character matures throughout the series; becoming more mature and independent while keeping her kind and innocent nature intact.

Her matchup for round 1 also possessed similar qualities. Nina Jones, from Cousin Skeeter, not only had a kind, caring personality as well but she was also a straight-A student. Nina was best friends with fellow main character Bobby Walker and had an apparent crush on him. However, she sometimes let her feelings come over her and would become possessive over Bobby and prevent any other girl from trying to talk to him.

For our second #BaeBrackets matchup, we bring to you female characters from two of the most popular TV sitcoms of their time. For starters, Gina Payne was the ideal wife for many people in the 90s as she starred in the sitcom Martin. To be honest, if this whole tournament was seeded, Gina would have very well been a #1 seed. Gina, played by Tisha Campbell, was the girlfriend, and later on wife, of Martin Payne; played by Martin Lawrence. Gina was gorgeous, smart, had a good job, and was always there to defend Martin when Pam was about to give him the hands; that’s real love right there. If there was a Bae Hall of Fame, Gina would be inshrined in the fancy part with the good lighting accompanied by a video presentation or slideshow of some sorts.

As for her matchup, Whitley Gilbert held her own on A Different World. If we were talking strictly first season Whitley, then she probably doesn’t stand a chance here. Luckily for Gilbert, there are 6 seasons in A Different World. Although Whitley Gilbert did not change her character entirely, she did make some changes in her personality that have brought her into this field of 64. Changes that eventually led her to even being the love interest of Dwayne Wayne. Stuck-up, snobby, arrogant, any synonym for the previously mentioned words…she was probably that. However, she was also outgoing and charismatics at time. Whitley was the type to take charge and would not settle for anything less than that. Anything that concerned her, and even things that didn’t, she wanted to be the primary voice of. Anything she was a part of, she wanted to be the Beyoncé of even if you considered her the Michelle Williams of the group.
